    Vista and XP dual booting

    Hi all.
    Ok i used to dual boot vista and xp, i installed XP first the vista and got my dual boot screen.

    after a recent rebuild i have decided to just run vista so i installed vista. now i have decided i needed some xp compatibility on certain things so pooped XP on a diff drive but now i dont get the boot screen option! any ideas of a program that is good for dual booting? or a way to edit the vista boot.ini so i can get the boot path?
    I am the gadget man!

    I've found VistaBootPro to be quite easy to use (Vista uses a boot configuration system that's far more complex than boot.ini). Here's a tutorial on using it to get a Vista/XP dual-boot if you install Vista first.
